On Top of Spaghetti

Let’s sing a fun song about spaghetti and a meatball! Are you ready? Here we go!

The Silly Meatball Adventure

Once upon a time, there was a big plate of spaghetti. It was all covered with yummy cheese. But guess what happened? A little meatball was sitting on top of the spaghetti.

A Big Sneeze!

Suddenly, someone sneezed! Achoo! And oh no, the meatball started to roll. It rolled right off the table and onto the floor. Can you imagine that?

Where Did the Meatball Go?

The meatball kept rolling and rolling. It was having a little adventure of its own. Do you think it was having fun?

Let’s Pretend

Can you pretend to be a rolling meatball? Roll around like the meatball did. Isn’t it fun to imagine?

Learning with Spaghetti

Did you know that spaghetti is a type of pasta? Pasta comes in many shapes and sizes. Some are long like spaghetti, and some are twisty like spirals. Do you like eating pasta?

Counting Meatballs

Let’s count some meatballs together! One, two, three, four, five! How many meatballs can you count on your plate?

Sing Along!

Now, let’s sing the song again and have fun with our spaghetti and meatball story. Remember, it’s okay if your meatball rolls away. You can always imagine a new adventure!

Wasn’t that a fun story? Next time you eat spaghetti, think about the silly meatball and its big adventure!

  1. Have you ever had a food adventure like the meatball in the story? What happened, and how did it make you feel?
  2. If you could be any type of pasta, which one would you choose and why? What kind of adventures do you think you would have?
  3. Imagine you are the meatball rolling away. Where would you like to roll to, and what fun things might you see or do on your journey?
  1. Meatball Adventure Map: Create a simple map on a large piece of paper or a whiteboard. Draw a starting point labeled “Spaghetti Plate” and an endpoint labeled “Adventure’s End.” Ask the children to imagine where the meatball might roll on its adventure. Encourage them to draw or place small objects like toy cars or blocks to represent obstacles or fun places the meatball might visit, such as a “Cheese Mountain” or “Tomato River.” Discuss with the children how the meatball might feel at each place.

  2. Pasta Shape Exploration: Provide a variety of uncooked pasta shapes, such as spaghetti, penne, and spirals. Let the children touch and explore the different shapes. Ask them to sort the pasta into groups based on their shapes. Encourage them to use the pasta to create a picture or pattern on a piece of paper. Discuss how each shape might roll differently if it were a meatball and why.

  3. Rolling Experiment: Use a small ball to represent the meatball. Set up a simple ramp using a piece of cardboard or a book. Let the children roll the ball down the ramp and observe how far it goes. Ask questions like, “What happens if we make the ramp steeper?” or “How can we make the meatball roll further?” Encourage them to try different surfaces to see how it affects the rolling distance, such as carpet versus a smooth floor.

Here’s a sanitized version of the provided YouTube transcript:

Baby Bus

On top of spaghetti,
All covered with cheese,
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed.

It rolled off the table
And onto the floor,
And then my poor meatball
